I just don't know what you guys are looking for from your baseball announcers. All I'm looking for is a guy who is passionate about the Phillies being successful and knows stuff about the opposing players' historys (cause I know nothing). I think he does a fine job. Good enough for me.
you know he's a mets fan right?
the guy is horrible. Everything from his home run call to his fake laugh to his man tits to his non-stop blabbering
Oh no! Not a Mets fan! Anything but that!
Look maybe I'm just not passionate enough about baseball announcers like I am with football announcers. Even down to blasphemously thinking that while I agree with everybody that Joe Buck is the worst play-by-play guy in the history of the football....I don't think he and McCarver are really that bad during the baseball playoffs. I mean...it's baseball. what the heck do ya want?
But yeah, his man-tits are downer for everybody except Wheeler.

Being a mets fan just adds to his fakeness. Fake excitement when phils do something positive, fake laugh, etc. I don't think there is anything worse than a fake person.
I like joe buck in both sports. I think he and aikman do a great job during NFL games.
I get the baseball package every season. After listening to some of the other broadcasts (and being spoiled with harry kalas for years...and scott franzke/jim jackson on the radio) I think it's torture getting force fed wheels/tits for 162 games. I honestly don't know one phils fan that genuinely likes them. I don't know how the phils can be so naive
I thought I remember McCarthy signing a 3 year deal once he took over full time (2009). Anyone know if that expires after this season?
o/u on phils wins = 93. seems about right. thoughts?
yanks are only team higher at 93.5....
Probably the typical slow start esp with the big man out, but it's hard not to win 95 games with that beast of a pitching staff. Last year's team would've been around 105 wins if they didn't clinch so early, so a 10-12 game dropoff would be pretty significant.
sounds obvious, but injuries are going to be key. position players aren't getting any younger.
I think 93 is pretty accurate. I'm still figuring out what I think about this team. I don't like their offseason moves a little bit.
good to have baseball back on (even if the lineup is in playoff form today). I don't want willis to make the team. I'd rather see diekman, purcey, or savery get a shot as the 2nd lefty. I also prefer podsednick to pierre.
blanton looking good. he gave some of his lbs to howard
my initial reaction is about 95 wins this year so agree that 93 is fairly accurate. i don't see this team putting it together until the 2nd half of the season although their schedule for april and may is supposedly really light but that is obviously based on last year.
anyone else concerned that Utley hasn't even taking fielding practice yet? i put the chances of all 4 of our regular infielders missing the same game this year at about 15-20%.
I don't know if any of you guys have driven down by the complex recently, but Philly Live looks fucking tiny. I went by it on my way to FDR yesterday. It's right at the corner of Pattison and 11th and takes up less than half the block. I don't know why, but I was expecting something much bigger. I am sure inside it looks bigger but it looks pretty shitty from the outside.

They definitely could have. It's basically half of really small lot right next to the Spectrum where employees parked and where they unloaded trucks. Not at all what I was expecting.

well i know they scaled it back a ton. there was going to be some kind of high end shopping center type place that got scrapped.
Yeah, man. I got to get down there for that. I think all I would eat is oysters and crawfish.
Food in NO is fucking spectacular.

So I hear. I have no excuse to never have been there. Some buddies are thinking about making the trip if Syracuse makes the final four but it looks like there are no flights out of NYC and they are $1,000 plus for that weekend out of Philly so that probably won't be happening unless something major changes.

We are planning on going back to Jazzfest next year, when the kiddies are a little bigger to be left with family.
Got an e-mail from Temple to buy tixx to this weekend's game(s) - can't do it. :(

yup i was that guy who waited till a 60 degree day in mid march to take down the xmas tree and lights. good times.
christmas is now officially over people.
it's funny because this morning I was thinking, Jesus, it's March 12th already, Christmas will be here before we know it.
I watched a youtube where Jimmy Fallon asked people to turn off the TV at a pivotal moment of the Super Bowl. The one lady (that's usually who it was) turns it off, husband starts yelling, then she turns the camera to the still-up Christmas tree and says something like "get rid of that and I'll turn the game back on."
Best part was the last house, where a guy turned off the TV and pissed off his sister or whoever was watching the Madonna halftime show.

I think the withdrawal from the weekend is finally starting to subside...
Yeah, man. Think I'll be there tomorrow. And yeah, I'm blaming Saturday for my terrible round of golf yesterday. Fuck, I went out to grab some lunch and a couple beers and then that happened....around 11 hours and 4 bars later I was home.

starting to get a little worried. heard howard will be in the boot for a longer than they expected now too.
I know, they keep saying, he knows his body better than anyone and when he's ready, he'll play. They say all he needs is 30 to 40 ABs in the spring to be ready for the regular season.
